HiPath 2036 V2 - Communication for the open minded
IP communication for small and medium-sized companies Flexibility

HiPath 2036 puts an end to parallel networks for voice and data. Companies that invest today in an efficient IP infrastructure are well quipped to fully exploit the possibilities of IP communication and are ready to take advantage of cost-effective access to Internet telephony service providers.
HiPath 2036 is a modern communication system that combines voice and data transmission within a single solution. This Linux-based real-time IP system can be used in small and medium-sized companies with up to 30 employees, in a wide range of industry sectors.
Integrating mobile employees and teleworkers into the communications infrastructure is an important prerequisite for streamlining business processes. HiPath 2036 is a secure and reliable communication system for Voice-over-IP and is based on a solid and efficient IP infrastructure. The integrated gateway is the interface between LAN/WAN and traditional exchange circuits, and routing functionality sets up the connection to the Internet for both data traffic and Internet telephony. HiPath 2036 has a range of security features protecting against system failure and eavesdropping. Thanks to open standards support, HiPath 2036 is extremely flexible with regard to integration into business applications.
HiPath 2036 provides pure IP technology and features high-quality telephones with intuitive user operation (via a display and dialog keys), PC clients for any modern working environment, and Wireless LAN devices. Analog devices can also be connected to this real-time IP system where necessary. A wide range of voice telephony features combined with applications such as CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) and integrated VoiceMail guarantee support for all aspects of professional communication. And HiPath 2036’s userfriendly executive-secretary function ensures the smooth flow of communication at attendant or secretary stations in the reception area, where multiple communications processes converge. Integrated call distribution ensures that staff can be reached and guarantees fast customer contact. This makes telephony not only simpler and more efficient, but also ustomer-friendly.

SIP – the standard for Internet telephony
HiPath 2036 supports all the exciting new options that the SIP protocol brings with it. Whether SIP terminals or subscriber and system connections for Internet telephony - it represents a new dimension in flexible communication. As an open and standard protocol, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) fulfills the requirements for interoperability between systems and devices from different manufacturers. Intelligent use of the available bandwidths for both voice and data leads to a better utilization of the Internet connection. Quality of Service (QoS) always gives priority to voice communication, and the codecs that are used guarantee the highest transmission quality. Mixed operation involving both traditional exchange circuits and xDSL network connections and the scalability of the voice bandwidth network make SIP-based communication sufficiently flexible to exploit new services offered by carriers. Real-time and multimedia services such as voice, video, instant messaging, or presence services provide increased transparency about who is available, and when, and via which terminal device.

The secure company connection
Employees’ voice and data applications can be fully integrated into the company network, whether they are working from home or are on the move. Modern security mechanisms such as integrated VPN (Virtual Private Network) ensure that employees working via the Internet have a secure connection. Confidential information can thus be accessed at any time and from anywhere in the world. An integrated firewall protects the voice and data network against unauthorized external access. Another important advantage for mobile workers is that they can be reached at their company number regardless of where they are currently located, at reasonable cost and over a tapproof connection.

Reduced costs
A high-performance IP infrastructure means that voice and data communication can be combined within a single network. The integration of a router and gateway in one and the same system also optimizes hardware costs. The fact that no separate voice network has to be set up and maintained reduces the administrative necessary for systems and applications. And existing Internet connections can be utilized in a more economic fashion by also using them for calls to the public network. The costs for separate traditional exchange circuit lines can be reduced to a minimum, using them solely as back-up lines or for fax or TeleCash purposes. Exploiting Least Cost Routing via traditional exchange circuits and several Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSP), companies can implement applications that lower call costs considerably.

Flexible configuration
HiPath 2036 is highly flexible with regard to the number of subscribers. Telephones are connected to existing LAN cables ("onewire- to-the-desk") and connected to the PC via the integrated mini-switch. This means that the system can be connected to the circuit- switched traditional exchange network and is also suitable for packet-switched (LAN/WAN) environments. It also means that a step-by-step migration to present or future Internet telephony services is possible.
